Currently treating flowerhorn for hex. How long until will he eat?

[ucantkillme89]

I Google flowerhorn clear poop and the 2nd pic RD. posted is close to how my Flowerhorn's poop looks.
It's a bit thicker though (the poop that is).
Idk how effective Tetras parasite cure is but it does have metro in it.
I'll cut pieces off the tablets and let them soak into his pellets.
I'll attempt to go to walmart too for epsom salt.
Thanks big time RD. you go into detail about how to shut this stuff down.

Tetra PG contains Diflubenzuron, which is a restricted-use pesticide, and not meant to be ingested by fish. It's use is typically to treat external issues such as anchor worm. (fish lice)

Tetra Parasite Guard - Active Ingredients: Praziquantel, Dflubenzuron, Metronidazole and Acriflavin

Directions - Add one tablet to each ten gallons of aquarium water.

Where does it say that one can soak a fishes food in this medication, and feed that presoaked food to their fish? My advice would be to NOT feed meds to fish unless you are certain of what you are feeding your fish, and the potential of what the long term effect of that medication may be when ingested internally by your fish.

Got it
Finally got the epsom salt tonight. I'll try turning things around tomorrow.

Another thing, can a fish get hex from being in the same water another with hex was in?

 

[RD.]

Yes, it can be spread via the feces of infected fish.

I'm crushed reading that.
The Carpintis and red tex I mention are in the tank my KK was in when I first got him.
He eats like a monster but Thursday makes 3 weeks since I've had the Carpintis and he hasn't eaten at all.

 

[ucantkillme89]

RD. the Carpintis is 6 inches and female is 5
I hope I don't damage anything forcefeeding.......

 

[ucantkillme89]

Mannnnnn
He's the cause of the hex my other fish has, but he never stopped eating.
What do make of this iron looking poop???? It looks like a knot at the bottom. This poop is nowhere as bad as when it was white and stringy.

What type of flowerhorn is it? Pics? It seems that some flowerhorns with thai silk in them take a lot longer to heal w/ the metro treatment

 

[ucantkillme89]

Bump
Can anyone tell me if that's healthy poop or not?
